So I was debating with several friends over what exactly constitutes a sport. Of course, it needs to be directly competetive and have a specific win condition. It also needs to be located in the physical realm. Anything digital is not a sport, just a cyber-sport. I think it also needs to be analog, so board and card games are out (they are boolean and integer based, respectively). It needs to be based primarily on player skills, so plinko and horse-racing are out (horse racing due to the primary factor determining success is horse genetics and the jockey is, strictly, unnecessary). Athletic ability is not necessary, but skill is. You don't need to be in fabulous shape to be an archer, yet it is still a sport. Also, conditions for competition must be variable, either by varying locations (home field advantage), playing area (Daytona and Infineon are very different race tracks), weather, team composition (to exploit an opponent's weakness), or player attributes (right/left handed, height, etc). Also, scoring and success should be primarily empirical (new figure skating scoring fits this criteria, old scoring didn't).

And I think that covers it. Feel free to try and correct me on anything I mentioned, but be prepared to prove it. That's the point of debate, you know, not just claiming to be right because you want to be.
